About Word Taper

How small can you go?

Word Taper starts you with a word. Your job is to whittle it all the way down to a single letter word, A or I, one step at a time. Remove a letter, swap a letter or add a letter, but every step has to be a real word.

SLATE → SLAT → SAT → AT → A

Sounds easy? Some words fight back.

HOW TO PLAY
- Tap a letter to remove it, change it, or add a new one
- Every step must spell a real word
- Reach A or I to finish the puzzle
- Match par for three stars, or finish within three steps of par to pass

FEATURES
- 300 hand-picked levels, from gentle five-letter warm-ups to tricky six- and seven-letter words
- Quick Play mode with thousands more starting words
- Learn as you play: tap unusual words like QI or MIL to see what they mean
- Hints when you're stuck, plus free hints for watching a short ad
- Bright, bouncy tiles, cheerful sound effects and confetti when you win
- No account, no sign-up. Just open it and play

Word Taper is free to play with ads. Optional hint packs are available as in-app purchases.
